The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 226 Steamed Lion Head

Qi Yuan stepped out of the cave, and suddenly felt that his heart opened up a lot.

The scenery outside is still like a fairyland, spirit birds are flying, strange beasts are running, fairy mist formed by the condensation of rich spiritual energy can be seen everywhere, and there is a fresh breath in the air, everything is so refreshing.

Qi Yuan raised his hand and stretched his waist, and yawned comfortably. For a moment, he felt that his troubles were all gone, and his mind became a little more lively.

He strolled among the mountains, humming a tune leisurely, and occasionally picked a spiritual fruit from the side of the road, and the juice in his hand gnawed freely.

In the bamboo forest behind, Qi Yi was busy with work, while He Ling'er and others were helping him.

Even Deng Chanyu, who has never had much talent in cooking, is diligently helping him pack his things, pick bamboo shoots and other things.

Qi Yuan listened carefully for a while, and only then did he realize that Qi Yi felt that his cultivation had improved a lot recently. After practicing for a while, he felt that he should be able to make spiritual dishes.

So today I plan to formally challenge the spiritual chef.

Not to mention that He Ling'er is a gluttonous girl, Deng Chanyu has also been very interested in this kind of food that can improve her cultivation since she ate all kinds of spiritual dishes made by Qi Yuan.

That is to say, she doesn't have much talent for cooking, and Qi Yuan doesn't let her learn the skill of Ling Chef, so as not to be distracted, so she doesn't have the idea of ​​cooking by herself.

But it's been a long time since I tasted Master's handicraft, and they are all a bit greedy.

So when Qi Yi mentioned that he planned to be officially promoted to a spiritual chef, his interest suddenly increased, and they all came to help.

Qi Yuan didn't hide his figure, so his existence was soon discovered by everyone.

"The disciples meet the master."

Several disciples hurriedly saluted and greeted.

"Master, are you out of customs?"

There was a bit of surprise on Qi Yi's calm face.

Although he is young and mature, with a stable heart, but because of his early experiences and the fact that he was almost never separated from Qi Yuan when he was a teenager, Qi Yuan has always been taking care of him, so he has a kind of admiration for Qi Yuan from the bottom of his heart. Affection.

Qi Yuan took Yang Chan out for several months before, and after he came back, he stayed in seclusion for such a long time. He didn't see Master for such a long time, but he was thinking about Qi Yuan in his heart.

He Ling'er is similar to him.

This little girl was originally wandering alone because of the changes in the ethnic group, and was rescued by Qi Yuan after she was in danger. Since then, she has always followed Qi Yuan's side and rarely separated.

It's just that in the past year, Qi Yuan was either away or in retreat.

Although she lives very well on Jinao Island, Qi Yi and the others have nothing to say to her. Yunxiao's mount, Qingluan, often teaches her practice and teaches her a lot.

However, Qi Yuan is the one closest to the little girl's heart, and naturally she misses him very much after not seeing him for such a long time.

So after seeing Qi Yuan at this time, he immediately ran to Qi Yuan's side with a pair of short legs happily, and held on to his sleeve, as if he was afraid that he would run away again.

Qi Yuan smiled and nodded to Qi Yi and the others, then stretched out his hand to pinch He Ling'er's chubby little face.

Well, I seem to have lost a little weight recently, and it seems that I don't feel as good as before.

Qi Yuan wondered, should he make up for this girl again?
Looking up and looking at Qi Yi again, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

This child has been with him for more than ten years, and now Qi Yi is no longer the thin and thin child he was back then.

Qi Yi's figure has grown, he is nine feet tall, half a head taller than Qi Yuan, with sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, he is a handsome young man.

Hmm, very nice.

Qi Yuan looked at Qi Yi's current image with satisfaction, especially after he had made some achievements in cultivation, his body was ethereal and handsome, and he was only slightly inferior to himself.

Deng Chanyu on the side is currently the most powerful among his disciples, not only possessing the five-light stone, the spiritual treasure, but also the silver snake sacrificed by her secret method.

After the silver snake was fused with a whole set of golden flood dragon bones, its physical body was extremely tough and powerful. Coupled with its innate supernatural powers, its combat strength alone was no less than that of ordinary immortals.

With these two things protecting her body, even ordinary immortals would suffer some losses when they met her.

Of course, she may not be able to seriously injure the immortal.

After all, her strength is still somewhat insufficient, and even though the five-light stone hits the target, few people can defend against it, but the five-light stone is not a treasure with powerful lethality after all, so it can only be used as a hidden weapon to win by surprise. If you really want to fight to the death, But also rely on other skills.

As for Li Yinger, a young girl, I haven't seen her for a few months. Not only has she achieved a little success in refining Qi, but her whole temperament has also changed drastically.

Wearing a sky-blue dress, Qi Yuan would have been unable to recognize her if it wasn't for the smoldering aura between her brows still remaining, and she no longer has the image of the mountain girl from before.

Since she just came to Jin'ao Island, Qi Yuan went to retreat for several months. Now that she suddenly saw Qi Yuan, she felt a little strange in her heart, so she stood beside Deng Chanyu, not embarrassed to come forward.

"Ying'er, come here."

Of course, Qi Yuan would not ignore her, so he called her to him, and said with a smile: "Master, I went to retreat just after I brought you to Jin'ao Island. It's really a bit irresponsible. What's the matter, everything on the island is fine. Habit?"

Li Ying'er nodded lightly: "Reporting to Master, everything is fine with this disciple. Brother Qiyi and Sister Chanyu are taking care of me. I have learned a lot in the past few months."

"Ah That's good."

Qi Yuan said: "It's not because you are deliberately neglecting you as a teacher. You will know when your cultivation base is high in the future. Sometimes when you have a feeling in your heart, it is very necessary to retreat, otherwise the inspiration will be fleeting. If you waste time , You may not be able to catch that kind of inspiration again later.

Moreover, several months of retreat as a teacher are actually quite short. Like your uncle Qiongxiao, since the retreat started a few years ago, there has been no sign of leaving the retreat until now, and it may even take hundreds or thousands of years. The time is also uncertain.

Of course, our cultivation base is definitely not as good as your uncle Qiong Xiao's, so we usually don't have such a long retreat.

Well, seeing that your aura is pure, you should have a good foundation. I will test you as a teacher and see if you have been lazy during this period of time. "

After speaking, Qi Yuan asked her some common sense about cultivation, and seeing that she could answer them one by one, he nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that during this period of time, Qi Yi and Deng Chanyu are still very attentive to their little junior sister, teaching the basic knowledge very solidly.

"Okay, it's great that you can still practice diligently during the past few months of retreat as a teacher, and you don't need to be restrained in front of your teacher.

Qi Yi, what are you going to cook? "

Qi Yuan waved his hand, letting the apprentices do as they please, he did not leave, but looked at Qi Yi with great interest.

He didn't gain much from retreating during this period of time. Instead, he made himself a little irritable, so he left the retreat to relax, and didn't have any fixed things to do.

Since Qi Yi intends to become a spiritual chef, he, as a master, of course needs to take care of it.

"Reporting to Master, this disciple intends to make a steamed lion's head dish. Originally, the disciple was not sure about it, so I would like to ask Master for more guidance."

Qi Yi's eyes were full of anticipation.

He followed Qi Yuan when he was young, and the image of Qi Yuan in his mind was extremely tall.

So he is willing to follow in Master's footsteps, and he likes to do what Master likes to do.

Since the master created the spirit chef lineage, as the master's first disciple, he must inherit the master's skills.

In fact, regarding the Lingchu dish, because when Qi Yuan cooks, he always thinks about what to do, even if there are any ingredients, he cooks with whatever ingredients are available. As in the middle of the day, make a recipe and come out.

As a result, Ling Chef has higher requirements when learning, whether it is cultivation, knife skills, heat, and various details, it needs to be very delicate.

Therefore, Qi Yi always felt a little insufficient. Until now, after this period of practice and the experience accumulated in daily cooking with some ingredients, he felt that it was almost enough, so he planned to officially make a spiritual dish.

It's just that I can't help but feel a little uneasy. Now that I see the master leaving the customs, I'm overjoyed.

Having the master around to take care of him not only gave him a lot of confidence, but also he could ask the master for advice if he had any shortcomings, which made him more confident in making this dish.

Qi Yuan looked behind him and saw a dead spirit lion lying on the ground, and smiled immediately.

"This is the ingredients you prepared. It is quite creative to use spirit lions to make steamed lion heads."

He reached out and patted Qi Yi on the shoulder: "Not bad, you have potential, I am optimistic about you as a teacher."

After being praised by his master, Qi Yi couldn't help showing a hint of excitement on his originally calm face: "This spirit lion was given to my disciple by Master Gao Yan's uncle.

A few years ago, Master Gao Yan's great-uncle set up a formation in the lake because the spirit turtles he raised were lost, so that the spirit turtles would not get lost again.

This spirit lion didn't know what to think, it dared to run to the edge of the lake and secretly caught a spirit turtle, but when it was about to leave with the spirit turtle in its mouth, the formation was triggered by the spirit turtle's breath, Then he was killed in the battle.

Because the master uncle has been practicing a secret method recently, he has no time to deal with this spirit lion. It would be a waste, so he sent it to me. "

"Uh...hehe."

Qi Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth into an awkward laugh.

At the beginning, the first spiritual dish I made was made with the spirit turtle raised by Gao Yan as the main ingredient. I didn’t expect that the first spiritual dish made by my apprentice now, although it did not use the spirit turtle as the ingredient, but Still related to Gao Yan.

This really is fate!
It's just that I didn't expect that Uncle Gao Yan would set up a formation outside the lake where the spirit turtles were kept. Fortunately, he didn't have any ideas about those spirit turtles later, otherwise, he would have to be caught.

He laughed a few times, and then said: "Since it's the kindness of your master uncle, you don't want to waste this great food, just do it with your heart."

"Yes, Master."

Qi Yi agreed, and with some joy in his heart, he turned around and went to clean up the spirit lion.

He is not weak in cultivation now, and he is also very talented. Whether it is cultivation or cooking, he can master many things as soon as he learns, and he can understand a little bit.

It's just that it was limited to the cultivation level before, and the ingredients on Jin'ao Island contained relatively abundant aura, which made it a little difficult to grasp the heat.

Now after a long period of training, I have [-]% to [-]% certainty in my heart, and then I really started to do it.

His knife skills were superb, without a trace of fireworks in his movements, he waved the kitchen knife lightly, and quickly skinned and deboned the greyhound. After cleaning the flesh and blood, he began to cut it into diced meat.

Because this spirit lion has lived on Jin'ao Island since its birth, all the food it eats contains spiritual energy, so the flesh and blood in its body not only does not have the slightest fishy smell, but the meat is delicious and has a slight fragrance.

And because there is no danger on the island, it is rare for this greyhound to grow a layer of fat after eating and sleeping every day.

However, since its meat is fat and thin, it is just suitable for this dish.

The lion's head pays attention to fine chopping and rough chopping, more chopping and less chopping. After the meat is cut into small cubes, it can be chopped slightly, and there is no need to chop it into minced meat.

Qi Yi waved the kitchen knife, the flash of the knife almost turned into a phantom, and it didn't take long to chop up all the meat on the spirit lion.

Li Ying'er looked at the light of the saber in Qi Yi's hand, and couldn't help feeling a little envious in her heart. If such a clean and neat saber technique is used to kill monsters, it must be very straightforward.

After cutting the meat, Qi Yi also chopped the side dishes such as lotus root, ling bamboo shoots, green onion and ginger that had been prepared in advance, added some seasoning, egg white, shrimp, and crab roe, and stirred in the same direction for half an hour.

Then spread the prepared gorgon juice on your hands, and knead the minced meat into round meatballs. The meatballs made in this way will naturally be coated with a layer of gorgon powder, but there is no inside.

In this way, it is not only stylish, but also very smooth and tender. The meat is full of water between the meat. You can clearly feel that the juice is full and melt in your mouth after taking a bite. This method will make it more delicious.

Qi Yi reached out and took out twelve small jars, put a layer of bamboo shoots on them, added broth, put the balls in, covered them with a piece of green vegetable leaves, and finally closed the lid.

Then he released his own pot, put all these small jars into the pot, and simmered slowly.

When making steamed lion head, it is best not to use oil or soy sauce to keep the original color of the ingredients, which is the most beautiful.

As time slowly passed, Qi Yi carefully watched over the heat, using the formula in his hand to blend the spiritual energy of meatballs and several other ingredients.

About half an hour later, Qi Yi sensed that the aura had been fused together, and his eyes lit up immediately: "It's done."

As he lifted the lid of the pot, the aroma of meat, vegetables, and crab blended together came out immediately.

Qi Yi held one of the small jars and sent it to Qi Yuan respectfully: "Master, try it and see how it tastes?"

As he spoke, he reached out to open the lid and handed over the spoon.

Qi Yuan took the spoon with a smile. Looking at the round and beautiful lion head in front of him, he couldn't help moving his index finger. He blew on the hot air on the surface, scooped up a small piece, put it in his mouth, and tasted it lightly. some.

He Ling'er was biting her finger at the side, resisting the overflowing saliva in her mouth, looking at Qi Yuan eagerly, and asked anxiously: "Master, is it delicious?"

As a senior foodie, she hasn't eaten spirit vegetables for a year.

Now if Qi Yi's culinary skills have improved, then even when Qi Yuan is not around, Qi Yi will still be cooking, so she won't be afraid that she won't be able to eat delicious food.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Qi Yuan nodded in praise and said: "The steamed lion head you made has a blend of various aromas, the taste is clear but not mixed, it is extremely delicious, as tender as tofu, it melts in the mouth, it makes people have an endless aftertaste, it is very good."

Received Master's praise, Qi Yi immediately smiled and was very excited.

He quickly took out the small jars from the pot, and put two in front of each person for everyone to taste together.

He Ling'er couldn't hold it in for a long time, she threw herself on the desk, took a big mouthful, stuffed her mouth full, and ate such a delicious meal again, her eyes narrowed and she was very happy .

Deng Chanyu was a bit better, after all she came from a noble family, although she practiced martial arts since she was a child, she also had her own demeanor.

Only Li Yinger, she has never tasted such delicious food before, even though when Qi Yuan was in their village, she also used those black bear spirits to cook for the people in their village.

But at that time, considering that he was cooking for ordinary people after all, he just used a few ordinary elixir plants, and the spiritual energy contained in them was only enough to improve the physique of those villagers.

And she hadn't practiced at that time, so of course she couldn't feel that much.

Now that he has stepped into the door of practice, he was amazed when he tasted this kind of food that is both delicious and full of spiritual energy.

Although I heard from my senior brothers and sisters that the lineage of the spirit chef created by the master can improve the cultivation of Qi practitioners, I don't know that the effect is so good, it is not worse than a panacea.
